1. An avatar display device that is connected to an active terminal inputting an action instruction of an active avatar acting in a virtual space and a passive terminal inputting an action instruction of a passive avatar acting in the virtual space, and that displays moving image data of the virtual space on the active terminal and the passive terminal, the device comprising:
a storage device storing passive permission data including a permission flag indicating permission or denial of the passive avatar in relation to an action from the active avatar with respect to the passive avatar,
wherein the avatar display device is configured to output data for displaying the moving image data in which the passive avatar accepts the action of the active avatar on the active terminal and the passive terminal when the action from the active avatar with respect to the passive avatar is detected, and the permission flag indicates permission in the passive permission data,
wherein the action of the active avatar prompts a corresponding response from the passive avatar so that the active avatar and the passive avatar act cooperatively, and
wherein at least one of the action of the active avatar and the corresponding response from the passive avatar is adapted based on a current state of the passive avatar relative to the active avatar.
